Diwali, one of Hinduism’s most important festivals, is dedicated to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, and symbolises the victory of good over evil

Each year on the Saturday before Christmas Eve, the city of San Fernando in the Philippines holds the Ligligan Parul Sampernandu, the Giant Lantern Festival.
